If you are doing an install your installation media could have a scratch or be corrupted. Either borrow a copy to see if you can get past the file or try doing a clean install including a reformat of the drive.

i presume that it is when it is copying files just before instalation when you get this error message
this is normally due for 2 reasons ,your disc is either scratched ,dirty,or damaged so your optical drive cannot recognize the data on the xp disc,or you are using a corrupt copy of xp,either way you need to get a new copy of xp
you could try using a lens cleaner on your optical drive as a dirty lens could be the reason for missing info during instalation,you can normally buy these very cheaply from computer and eletrical shops
good luck
